That South Louisiana contains a soil a.

formation of the country. That the

something which has been demonstrated
by the carefully KEEP: meteorological rec

Now there are other districts Of the

that any unjust or unnatural clauses, if
they exist, which might he so construed
according to the laws of nations, p,ay be
replaced by provisions that will remove
all possibility of further conflict.

Minister Manning viii BE Con-
firmed.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-From conversa-
tiOns yeste rday with several prominent
Senators on both sides of the chamber it
would appear that there is no longer any
doubt about Minister MannIng's confirm
alton. The opposition, although strong
in intensity, was small numerically, and
it has been weakened by the DETECTION of
an influential Senator who has an
nounced his intention to withdraw his
opposition As was stated at the time
Mr.. Cleveland sent the nomination to the
Senate, he would not have done so unless
he had ample ASSURANCES that a confirm
alton would follow. lie would not have
cared to place the party. himself, and the
apro ntee in the awkward position that
would be made by the mans rejection.
There seems to be no doubt that that
body will take favorable action before it
adlourns in March.

One year ago we warned our people
that the FLORIDA boom was dead" and
that we must go back To strict business
principles and hard work if we would
live through the inevitable season of de-
preston certain to follow years of in
tiated values and speculation. That time
for hard work is now upon US, but we
see as little necessity for despair now as
for undue elation at the height of the
boom. The freeze of last winter was not
needed to- prick balloon whose fall was
already at hand. The end would have
come soon without the freeze, and the
one only marked the memorable collapse
that our trees can endure orr hardest
cOld, and 81 much has been gained.
But our hotels, railroads and tow Ms had
outgrown our population, and the tenn
porary pause in the march of progress
was inevitable. 1t is equally certain that
when the conditions are changed that
march will br resumed. We are dem
onstrating now That not ereH the cdIdB-
ty liar can in Iure us save for a very
short time. Information can now be
made too precise and full To admit of
doubt, and the public can soon correct
malicious or false reports. Activity in
real estate has been suspended, but no
industry with a solid business basis has
been suspended, and none but paper
towns have been burned in the blaze of
4.
But rs we warned Floridians to put
trust no longer in the boom, 80 now
we warn those who mean business
that the time for investment i'm our
lands and Industries In at hand Fancy
prices and inflated values are out of the
market and the next change will lie
upward. Our improvements had got
ahead of our population; foreign capital
had given us a growth too rapid for
health, and We are now bracing muscles
and hardening bones for a new start for
the old goal. In this interval of pause
investments may ho advantageously
made.
That property in Florida will shortly
take an upward tendency is as certain
as that IL is now down. A rise Is as
much certainty now as was fall
twelve months ago. During last year
we put into operation more than three
bundled miles of railway and opened up
country correspondingly wide. This
will shortly be filled by the immigration
and business now pouring into South
Florida, and then will come a reaction
for better as We are now suffering a
period of depression corresponding To
our previous prosperity. There is no
reason for despair. and if We apply bust
Ness principles TO the situation we may
take the same advantage of the present

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE New York
ErcniItg Post has issued "a little pamphlet
entitled Our Standing ARMY of Pen

articles relating To the Dependent Pen

THE WHITNEY ROSEBUD.
How She May Unite the Sections

New York Star, Feb 3.
The Tariff bill, the Dependent Pension
bill, the Interstate Commerce bill, the
Army and Navy Ordnance bill, and the
national memorial bridge scheme are all
well enough in their way for small side
issues, but there is another and more i'm
portant question agitatinG us at the CAPT
tai just now. and that is, what name to
give the Cabinet Bud. that fascinating
little cherub who has been a source Of
sweetness and light" to the White
House. and all the Cabinet families ever
since she first opened her eyes upon the
world of Washington. lt ia said that the
President idoliZes that baby and takes
the deepest interest in her welfare, and
considers her the brightest jewel in the
diadem of the Democracy and the Adj
minstration. Now if we are to have a
memorial bridge to illustrate the restora-
ton Of an era of good feeling between
the North and South. why not carry out
the same patriotic idea in naming the
Cabinet Bud?
Frances Mildred Whitney would do it,
She would thus bear the name of Mrs.
Cleveland and Miss Lee. the daughter of
the immortal Lee. The Southern interest
and share in that baby must be recog-
nized. The West and East NAV put in
some CLAIM for their sections. but a me-
mortal baby has its mission to perform in
cementing the bonds between the two
opposite sections of the country.

The President Will Name the Inter-
State Commissioners at Once.
WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE STAR,
Feb Sit became known to-day that
the President has determined to appoint
the members of the commission under
the Interstate Commerce Law before the
adjournment of Congress. This will dis
appoint great many people who wanted
to see Mr.. Morrison placed upon the COM
mission, to say nothing of the friends of
various other Congressman whose terms
expire on the 4th of March next, and
who were aspirants fer those very desi1a-
BILE places. The Presidents course, how
ever, is commended bv a great many
thinking men, who agree with him in the
opinion that the Senate should be re
quired to take its share of the RESPONSE
bility in this inauguration of an expert
ment of such Importance and magnitude.
The Senators themselves Will approve the
step most heartily, for IL Ii no secret that
those of the West and South intend to
exercise very careful scrutiny of the ap-
pOintees and to require of them a full
and explicit expression of their views, es-
pecially as to the Interpretation of the
fourth and fifth sections of the law.
They will put up with no uncertainty on
these points and will reject any appoints
tee, no matter what hIs character and
qualifications otherwise. who does not
come up to- their requirement in this
respect.

perhaps as well the President reached
the conclusion To appoint while the Sen
